INTRA : SAFETY AND HEALTH BENEFITS FOR ATHLETES

Intra for energy!
Intra contains ingredients that fully support the Energy System. Without these essential nutrients, the body could not reach optimal levels of activity. German Chamomile, Ginger root, Bee Pollen, Chinese Pearl Barley are some of the ingredients in Intra that promote energy.

Contains No Steroids, No Stimulants
Intra is completely free of alcohol, caffeine, or any substance that would cause an athlete to test positive for a banned substance.

Intra for antioxidants!
Antioxidant supplements have been shown to be effective in reducing delayed onset muscle soreness and improving exercise recovery. Juniper Berry, Licorice, Rose Hip, Schisandra berry, and Passion flower contain antioxidants such as Vitamin C and flavonoids that destroy free radicals and toxins caused by exercise.

Understanding the “Ups” &“Downs” of Exercise
Although we are told that exercise is good for our bodies, what we are unaware of is that exercise pushes the body beyond its usual capabilities (resulting in muscle damage). With the right amount of recovery time and appropriate nutrients, the body will efficiently repair and rebuild towards an increased level of strength and endurance (this is known as the adaptation syndrome). To continually improve our level of fitness, these principles must be supported by the right amount of nutrients and antioxidants. If these essential nutrients are provided, this will boost exercise performance and reduce exercise recovery time.

During exercise, our bodies will:
• Increase the rate and amount of oxygen utilized
• Increase metabolism (burn more calories)

After a bout of exercise, our bodies will:
• Have an increased accumulation of toxins (free radicals) and by-products (lactic acid)
• A reduced physical resistance due to increased exercise demands

Free Radicals & Lactic Acid
Since exercise increases the amount of oxygen used in the body, this causes an increased production of unstable molecules called free radicals. These highly reactive molecules can damage cells and are believed to be the main cause of sore aching muscles a day or two after exercise (known as delayed onset muscle soreness or DOMS).

Wastes/By Products
Since exercise increases metabolism, there is an increased production of waste and by-products. Collectively, these wastes need to be quickly eliminated and neutralized to reduce muscle soreness and
improve exercise recovery.

Reduced Physical Resistance
Since we are “overloading” our bodies with physical stress, it takes time to repairand replenish the cells after exercise (this is known as exercise recovery). 

Therefore in order to maintain a “healthy” active lifestyle, it is important to have the right amount of nutrients to:
• support optimal energy
• help reduce the effects of exercise stress
• provide antioxidants (to combat free radicals and toxins produced during exercise)

KOTRT: KAYUH LASAK, PENANG 2010

Acara kali ini KOTRT: KAYUH LASAK, PENANG 2010, memang terbukti lasaknya. Cuaca hujan dan mendung menambahkan lagi lasaknya kayuhan kali ini. Hujan yang turun dengan lebatnya di pagi hari seawal 5pagi sehingga 7pagi hampir-hampir melunturkan semangat kami untuk berkayuh dek kerana sejuk dan basah. Berkat dorongan rakan-rakan mtb yang lain, kami menguatkan semangat untuk berkayuh pada acara tersebut.



Kami adalah bike pusher...















Seronok kayuh trek ni sebab belemoih habis...huhuhu... Hope to see more interesting spots at Kayuh Lasah next year...

MY SOLO CYCLING TOUR NOTES : KUALA KANGSAR - MANONG - TG. BLANJA - PARIT - SENGGANG - MENORA - SAYONG - KUALA KANGSAR

Today 5th December 2010, I am happy as I have already completed my solo cycling tour from KUALA KANGSAR - MANONG - TG.BLANJA - PARIT - SENGGANG - KG. MENORA - SAYONG - KUALA KANGSAR. The journey took me about 100 kilometers of total distance. As the day was raining in the morning, I started kicking by bicycle about 11.45 am and I arrived back my hometown (nearby Taman Jasa) around 8.00 pm.



70% of this route consist of slopes as it passes by the riverbank of Sg. Perak which take me about 10-15km/h. Most of the time I have to struggle to fetch the uphills especially from Bt. Hampar to Sayong. Going long downhill have save my time a lot as it can reach 35km/h.  At flat routes, my speed was about 20km/h.

During this journey my camera lens focuses on the traditional malay building that attrack me a lot. I am wonder are they will keep remain in the future or the traditional malay building will vanish as time passes by. For me, I prefer to classify these building as "rumah traditional melayu perak - penempatan sepanjang Sungai Perak".
